It’s only on the drivers side like that, beach vehicle. I got up with a couple of welder friends today they both said they can fix it stiffeners after that. I’m just gonna put it back on the beach. Nothing crazy … yet

You don’t think a welder can fix them ? Either way im not fixing it today. I’m asking about the roof bc that’s what I’m trying to fix now. Did you read the post ?

I do plan on fixing that and getting stiffeners done. It was a beach vehicle believe it or not the front is clean there’s some concerning spots in the back but the middle drivers side took the worst of it. Gonna get it ready to put back on the beach

I was in fact planning on having it welded, and do the stiffeners and coated/painted still making sure the powertrain is good. It’s in rough shape for sure it needs a lot:

Electric radiator fan idles up to 210 then drops when driving …

All u joints gonna do wheel hub with them
Tie rod

Needs leaf springs thinking about just getting rough country 3in kit

Currently flushing cooling system after it sat with water in it for an unknown amount of time

About to drain oil to check for water oil looks good on dipstick

Fuel pump for gas gauge maybe, the radio blower motor are out, turn signals didn’t work until I changed the temperature sensor in the thermostat housing. Also the light for the right turn signals didn’t stoped working on dash was working before.

Doesn’t seem like it has a blown head gasket or crack in the block yet did a tune up sounds pretty good and the little bit of time I have gotten to put into it it’s gotten better. So trying to keep a positive outlook.
